  "account": "Sony Pictures has announced that the highly anticipated Indian epic film 'Ramayana' will be released in theaters on November 6. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the movie will star Ranbir Kapoor as Prince Rama and is expected to be released in multiple languages for global audiences. Sony Pictures holds the global distribution rights outside India, while Prime Focus Studios will handle the release in the country.\n\nThe film is based on the ancient epic story of Prince Rama and his quest to rescue his wife, Sita, from the demon king Ravana. The project boasts a high-profile international creative team, including Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, and renowned action choreographers Terry Notary and Guy Norris. Production designer Ramsey Avery and Ravi Bansal have also contributed to the film's visual style.\n\nSony's distribution deal brings 'Ramayana' to a global theatrical platform, as Indian cinema continues to expand its international reach. The movie comes on the heels of Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey,' a major cinematic adaptation of an ancient epic that has surpassed $1.55 billion at the global box office.",
